Dust Furniture is a
collection of studio furniture from craft artist Vincent Thomas Leman.
Vincent has built one-of-a-kind pieces for years, but released this line
to accommodate the demand for reproducible versions of his work.

A key part of Vincent's creation process
is the integration of function into the form. He strives to create
furniture that is functional to the degree that it may be successfully
integrated into daily life, yet--equally important--provides a spark to
brighten the routine of daily life. He finds joy in discovering new ways
to mix art and life, and to make it accessible.
Vincent's work has been described as 'abstract traditional furniture.'
Each piece is essentially a traditional piece of furniture that is
stretched, curved, stacked and stepped to fit his design intentions.
While wood is the material employed to make his furniture, Vincent
considers his actual medium to be 'traditional furniture.' The
classical root of each piece helps maintain its identity as furniture
and keeps the work familiar and approachable despite the unusual shapes.
All of Dust's furniture is
skillfully handcrafted by Vincent and Jessie Leman in their studio in
Valparaiso, Indiana.
